Garlic Day in Launceston: June 22 The Shortest Day

Even if it is not truly silly during WORLD SILLYweek in Launceston we should be celebrating the shortest day of the year by planting garlic (Allium sativum) somewhere. Launceston's very own GURUgardner, Peter Cundall, advocates that we should be doing this on the shortest day so as we can harvest our garlic on the longest day along with other members of Peter's 'ONIONtribe.'

So we might also celebrate by eating garlic and there are many many wonderful things to eat with lots of garlic in them. Garlic is very good for you .... click here to get some receipts

If you do not have a garden perhaps during WORLD SILLYweek it may be a good time to indulge in some guerrilla gardening along with some GARLICdinners.
